Love, Theoretically

"The reigning queen of STEM romance."—The Washington Post

An Indie Next and Library Reads Pick!

Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain.

The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she’s an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.

Honestly, it’s a pretty sweet gig—until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he’s the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job.

Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but…those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she’s with him? Will falling into an experimentalist’s orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?

Fun read but the weakest book yet

I loved TLH, and was pleasantly surprised at LOTB. I immediately preordered LT, but my Barnes and Noble copy is taking forever to come in!

I bought it here, and although I didn’t mind Plummer’s narration, I think this is the weakest out of Hazelwood’s books. The plot
felt, I did not immediately fall for or even like the
Jack and Elsie much, and at times the events were predictable.

I appreciated the moments where Elsie’s character apple up for herself, but I am concerned about her mental state. I like the representation, but that felt shoe horned in as well.

I’ll pause before I preorder Hazelwood’s next book.

Enjoyed it immensely!

Enjoyed both the plot of the book and the take on the heroin charachter, it felt very clise to home. The chemistry between the main charechters is very beliveble. The heroes attitude is too agresive at certain points but this does not deter from the story.

my favorite so far

better than all the other books. I love everabout Jack. wonderful book. will listen again

New favorite book!

Amazing narration. Elsie and CeCe’s relationship made me laugh. And Jacks one line quips made me laugh. Overall a superb read!! Couldn’t put it down. jack is my new favorite book boyfriend!! Highly recommend. I love the realistic love story too!

Great Read

I loved this book. Academia is a wide world but the truth and love in this story is 1 of a kind

I think I’ve found the Taylor swift of authors

This book is phenomenal, I’ve been keeping an eye on all of Ali’s new adult novels since ‘The Love Hypothesis’ and let me just say I’ve loved every bit of it. She has this perfect formula of combining STEM with swoon-worthy love interests along with a plot that is perfectly paced making for an amazing read that I cannot put down every single time. I cannot wait until she releases her next book, and I’m even considering reading her novellas and young adult stuff too!

Another nerdy love story by Ali Hazelwood!

What's not to love? This story, like all of Ali Hazelwood's, is full of romance, great friendships, and so much science! I couldn't get enough and know I'll be listening to this over and over again!

Overall, this was really good!!

I really enjoyed this story. The writer really captured the turmoil in both of the characters as well as showing how they overcame and helped each other out of that turmoil. Also, the narrator was really good. She was able to capture the emotions of the characters very well, and I saw the distinction between the male and the female character and her narration. So overall, this was a great story with a great narration, and I really enjoyed it.

Another homerun from Ali!

Ali has done it again!! This book is so good! I've been waiting, what seems like an eternity, for her new release & read it cover to cover without stopping, the day it came out. The only bummer....now I have to wait until November for her next one ♥️

Love it!

Thank you for writing intelligent yet likable women in the world of science! Please keep writing these, and I promise to keep reading them.
